A big budget woohoo for us. I'm very happy with this

We do the budget plan for our gas/electric bill. We were set at 242$ back in fall for a whole house. That was pretty high. I got email this morning from the utility company. We are dropped down to 183$ a month. That is a savings of 59$. I have so much I could use 59$ on. Like food. The email says they will now review our bill every 6 months. Adjust it accordingly. After our son moved out. He closed up the vents upstairs. So we were not heating space no one uses much. I figure the same in summer. Don't cool the upsairs. Less electric will be used just cooling the downstairs.

Yay! Woo hoo! And congratulations.
I love when my bill drops too.
May I ask how you get a consistent bill? My company bills my month by month based on what we use. I have never heard of a six month set bill. That would be kinda cool.

We signed up for the budget plan. So we get the same bill each month. They spread out our heating bill over the year. The first year in our house. The heat bill would be very high. We couldn't afford it all at once. So we went budget. But now they review that budget amount every 6 months. To calculate our actual useage in that time period. If we paid to much in. We get a credit at the end of the budget calendar. One year. We must of paid in a little to much. So when the next budget cycle started. We had a credit they took off t he 1st bill of the new cycle.
